On March 26,2006, I found I could not lift my right arm above approx.90 degrees. Scapula also winging out. No pain, none whatsoever, including days weeks & months preceding onset, while lifting arm, or after onset. Events preceding onset: an arduous Yoga stretching class which focused shoulders and shoulder range of motion; this was followed by a 6 hour car trip, & upon arrival I came down with a vague virus--headache and fever and malaise which lasted two days. (My husband had this virus too.) When the malaise cleared I discovered this paralysis. I visited three doctors but none had heard of this condition and none took the problem seriously. After self-diagnosing using the Internet I sought out a conscientious physical therapist who had heard of winged scapula/LTN condition, gave me exercises aimed at preventing further injury, and who put me in direct touch with a sports doctor (d.o.) who had heard of the condition (said he had heard of it in med school,that it was rare). He orderd EMG & MRI & nerve conduct. study which verified the problem was with the long thoracic nerve & confirmed that nothing else was pressing against the nerve. Doctor told me to continue doing the exercises. Since then, I have continued most of my normal exercise (routine weight machines, treadmill, cycling, hiking and a reduced amount of running & jogging), quit yoga (can't do its most basic postures with this condition) and have done the P.T. exercises somewhat regularly. But there has been no discernible change to my paralysis, and it's been 9 months. What should I do next? -Columbus
